Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and sleek pushchair that can be expanded into a twin with one click. When it's twin, the frame is narrower but still has space for a shopping basket alongside each car seat, or it can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to suit siblings of varying ages.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment, and a parent or world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even tweaked the design to allow you to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby products, right after the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time so it is essential to make it easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it is lightweight, folds small and has a great steering. It comes with a variety of extras, which rival brands charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for twins or siblings with different ages since it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands its width when you need to use the double seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode, making it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than buggies that are side-by-side.
In addition to the fact that it looks great and has plenty of extras the test group found that this stroller really stood out due to its simplicity of use. It folds easily with a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit long in double mode, however you can purchase a'sidepack' to make it smaller for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and easy to access will help you stay organised for more than one child. Select a model with an enormous basket under for storing all the extra accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It's also a great idea to incorporate the cup and snack tray to the holder, so you don't have to reach behind your child for drinks or snacks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are great for children of varying ages, however they can be more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the most suitable tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you could also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space too and a spacious under-seat basket that's large enough to fit a large shopping bag. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your child.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children entertained and comfortable during their strolls. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. They will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
It's also worth considering a twin pram with one handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars but this can be harder to control and could require two hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can adapt the pushchairs as your children grow. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. Its ultra-light frame that allows it to be used in double mode and can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies provide an elegant design than side-byside models and are a great option for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full angle for newborns, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted back into a single pushchair by removing the front seat.
double pushchair with car seat can be difficult to fit on to public transport and might not be as sturdy as a single pushchair moving between kerbs.
Some models are able to fold down smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful choice that can be used as a single or a double. It also comes with a range of carrycots as well as infant car seats so you can modify it as your twins grow larger. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in great condition for the years to come. This will avoid problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould. It can also extend the life of your pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of crumbs, dirt and grime from all areas. This will enable you to access all crevices, seams and fabric components such as the seat, canopy, and basket.
After vacuuming, take off the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them on the gentle cycle with mild detergent suitable for babies. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling them to prevent corrosion or water damage.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, it is recommended to regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding parts. If needed an lubricant based on silicone should be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to repair them promptly to avoid further issues.
